I Am Bored With Thinking

On a rain-soaked day
I sit to write a verse,
I can't think of a thing to write
so instead - I just curse

I look through the window
now speckled with rain,
I still can't think of anything
so instead - I just complain

I sit all day long
with trusty pen in hand,
just can't think of a thing to write
while rainwater soaks the land

I give up at midnight
having nothing written down,
"I've been beaten today,"
I sigh - with my poetic frown!

All these contests require us to strain our minds at times, George. I get bored with this type of thinking as well. Wish there weren't so many contests. If our minds were free of distraction, I think the poetic words would flow more freely. This is a great poem for the contest and I hope the sponsor sees the wisdom in it. Love, Carolyn
